9/7 springrates with 6 levels of dampening adjustability. Messed around with the dampening a bit, very precise and crisper than the HE's. HE's were sloppy from start to finish, where as these are much better build quality from what I can see/feel. I've got them on full soft for the street, but full stiff is ridiculous. More than enough for me for any track setting. Spring preload and height adjustability are independent. However, on both the front and rear, the height adjustability runs out when it hits the lower spring perch collar. Therefore, more preload will allow you to go even lower. With my car in the pics above, I still have another 1 1/2" of height adjustability in the front and about 2" in the rear. Basically, they go low enough for ANYONE's needs. Frame rails would literally be 1" off the ground fully slammed. Hell, if I slammed the fronts all the way, my front lip would be sitting ON the ground. Literally. Ride quality is great, stiffer than the HE's obviously, but not too much. Ride quality is nicer than the HE's tho, dispite the stiffer springrates. Even my G/F agrees. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't have thought twice about getting the HE's. GR6's all the way. Well worht the extra few hundered $$.

Don't get me wrong, the HE's served me great, and are a good entry coilover, but the GR6's pick up the slack in all the areas the HE's fall short.


Front turn signals were relocated to the corner lights. A little dremel work, epoxy and bam! More air cooling for brakes and tires. Turn signal wires are long enough too, no need to lengthen.

Nice write up...this is great motivation to save up sum more cash and sell the old coilovers.
